UK Service Evolution service design consulting will equip your organisation to deliver ‘best in class’ design for serviceability and cost of ownership, and to capitalise on warranty avoidance opportunities in product design.S ervice Evaluation and Repair Process (or 'SERP') consulting supports designers by providing serviceability analysis of designs using digital CAD data.
SERP consultancy and processes use product CAD geometry to assess designs from 'design for service', 'cost of ownership' and 'warranty avoidance' perspectives. SERP services implement a process toolset ensuring that the impact of ongoing design changes is monitored throughout the design process, and SERP processes incorporate the generation of service CAD data that can be used with product geometry to help designers maintain an awareness of service requirements.
UK Service Evolution SERP engineers also use the digital CAD environment to calculate service labour times. These labour times can be used to understand the impact of a design, or design change on cost of ownership or warranty expenditure.
Proposed design changes to reduce a quantified warranty cost can then be shared with manufacturing and other areas. This ensures that the best and most cost-effective collaborative solution is agreed upon.
The cornerstones of SERP processes and methods are design-for-service benefits in terms of: better serviceability and service operation times, more comprehensive remanufacturing of service parts,improved competitiveness through better cost of ownership, and transparent warranty cost avoidance.
SERP services ensure that product design will deliver products that, because they are designed for service, are also designed to improve your aftermarket profitability.
